Anticipation is running high, as Bri-mor Developments is set to unveil the newest showhomes in its hit community of Encore II in the final phase of the successful West Grove Estates in West Springs.

Encore II has seen a jump in sales since its launch last year, and with Cedarglen Homes preparing to open two of the first showhomes in the community, demand is surging anew.

“As competition in this sought-after corner of Southwest Calgary ramps up, Encore II stands out due to its prime location within an established, amenity-rich neighborhood filled with green space. This family-focused community is where kids run around, and neighbors connect, engaging in activities throughout all seasons. The bonus of being close to the mountains and downtown makes it even more desirable. With demand rising in this area and very limited supply, it’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss” says Aleem Dhanani, Bri-mor’s Managing Director.

Perfecting community

Bri-mor spearheaded the development of this much coveted corner of the city close to the intersection of Bow Trail and 85th Street SW, and Encore II is the seventh and final phase of their tremendously successful West Grove Estates community representing 59 of the total 423 homes

“Homeowners here experience the perfect blend of a newly built home nestled within an established community, offering amenities, neighbors, and easy access to nearby parks, schools, and shopping,” Dhanani states.

Encore II achieves an incredible balance of modern living, affordability, and an established community feel, he adds. “Buyers will enjoy 8.5 acres of green space, a prime location with easy access to downtown and the mountains, and a family-friendly neighborhood designed for active lifestyles.”

The new phase of Encore II infuses fresh energy into the entire community, offering a range of stunning new architectural options. With the addition of a third story loft or flex space, residents can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and downtown, ensuring that every buyer finds the perfect home to match their lifestyle. Home designs reflect the needs of families, with open-concept living, functional layouts, and beautiful architectural styles, all within a community that prioritizes green space and connectivity. With only a limited number of lots available, this is a rare opportunity to build in a highly desirable area.

An established community

Encore II is the seventh phase of Bri-mor’s popular West Grove Estates community which will now have over 400 homes. By joining this established community already teeming with families and children enjoying the parks, greenspace, and playing street hockey; Encore II residents will have immediate access to over 8 acres of parks from the existing West Grove Estates community,

Cedarglen Homes is the exclusive builder in this phase of the development, and they are excited to bring their stylish single-family front-drive garage homes here, including their popular three-storey options. These semi-estate homes are tough to find, especially in West Calgary, and with architectural controls ensure a timeless and elegant aesthetic that stands out in the community. “Cedarglen’s home designs focus on versatility, high-quality craftsmanship, and flexibility in customization—something many competing builders do not offer,” Dhanani says.

A building partner

Cedarglen Homes has been a constant presence in West Grove Estates, and in both phases of Encore, they are the sole home builder further solidifying their strong foundation and commitment to the community.

“Cedarglen Homes was chosen as the exclusive builder because of their exceptional attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction,” Dhanani says. “They offer buyers a personalized experience, ensuring homes meet their needs and preferences. From versatile floor plans to the ability to customize, Cedarglen stands out by making the building process enjoyable and collaborative.”

Additionally, their expertise in Net Zero builds provides long-term value for homeowners seeking energy-efficient living. Cedarglen also offers a program that provides different levels of Net Zero, from Inspired to Certified, allowing homeowners the flexibility to adapt their homes to their specific energy goals and needs.

Cedarglen is excited to bring their stylish single-family front-drive garage homes to a community with very few new addresses remaining on the hill. This is a rare opportunity to own in such a desirable location.

“Encore II, in fact the whole West Grove Estates community, is perfect for new beginnings. Buyers are coming from all over and buying a home here, some of them for the first time,” says Cedarglen Homes’ Janelle Jalali. “The homes we offer here are great for growing families - or those looking to start one – who want to set down roots for their future,” she says.

Much-anticipated showhomes

Cedarglen Homes is unveiling two of their most popular front-drive garage models in Encore II – The Macleod 3ST 26, and the Nanton 24. This will be the first-time that Cedraglen is showcasing their bestselling Macleod model as a three-storey home.

The Macleod will have four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths with a main floor flex room that can be turned into a bedroom to accommodate multi-generational families. The showhome features a fully developed basement with a spacious rec room and two more additional bedrooms and bathroom. And if that isn’t enough, it also has a third floor loft with a front-facing balcony.

The Nanton 24 has a striking open-to-below floorplan with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. It’s family friendly design includes a main floor desk area and legal, two-bedroom secondary suite.

Cedarglen Homes themselves are quite excited to be back in the community. “We’ve sold successfully in the previous phases of this community and have seen immense interest throughout each phase release,” says Cedarglen Homes’ Janelle Jalali.

Homeowners’ paradise

Dhanani says homeowners have expressed overwhelming satisfaction with their experience in Encore and West Grove Estates. “They appreciate the balance between affordability and luxury, as well as Cedarglen’s flexibility in design.”

“Encore offered a middle ground for us in terms of luxury and affordability,” says Antonio Michele, who recently moved to Encore. “Other builders in the area weren’t nearly as flexible with floor plans/finished which was very important to me. We knew we were looking for our “forever home“ and quickly realized that we wanted the flexibility to be able to customize a house exactly the way we wanted, so we switched gears and looked into building.”

Another resident, Antonella Gagliardi says she fell in love with what Cedarglen Homes had to offer in Encore.

“I have always loved interiors and dreamed of customizing a home one day. We had met with a few other builders previously and Cedarglen was the only one who made us feel like they wanted us to be a part of the building process just as much as we wanted to be. Cedarglen staff and representatives and everyone was always so welcoming and accommodating to our needs,” she says.

“We never felt like we were a burden during the entire process, and we were always encouraged to stop by the house during the build process and let the site supervisor know if there was anything that needed to be addressed. We were encouraged to be a part of every little process and it really helped make us feel at home, even before possession.”

“We have very happy residents in Encore, and though this may be the final phase of this community, we have more developments in line that will surely grab buyers’ interest. Across all phases, over 400 homes and families have already made this community their own, with the sounds of kids playing, neighbors connecting, and families enjoying the outdoors next to the mountains. This sense of belonging is what makes Encore so special to Bri-mor. Encore truly embodies our values as a company, reflecting the importance we place on family and community. As a family-owned business, we deeply value these principles, and they guide how we run our company as we continue to build both residential and commercial communities.”.Dhanani says.
